Database Setup

Setup a database for FateUHC

MySQL or MongoDB is required to allow FateUHC to function.

MySQL is offered for free by the majority of Minecraft hosting companies. Please reach out to your host to learn if they provide a free database. MongoDB Atlas is also a good free MongoDB host.

Config File

In order to setup MySQL or MongoDB with FateUHC, you must run the plugin once to generate the data.yml file. This is the default file that you can compare if needed.

The first time MySQL is connected, you will receive Leaderboard errors. Please restart once, and those will disappear.

  ENABLED: false
  HOSTNAME: "localhost"
